Mexico vs England: Azteca Awaits in World Cup Round of 16
05 July 2026
England topped Group L without too many difficulties, defeating Croatia and Panama while settling for a draw against Ghana.
When the Three Lions were paired with DR Congo in the Round of 32, most expected a comfortable victory. Instead, the African side stunned England with an early goal and made life extremely difficult for Thomas Tuchel's team, who struggled to create clear chances.
With many coaches already losing their jobs after early eliminations, Tuchel himself was facing what could have been the defining moment of his England tenure. Fortunately for the Three Lions, Harry Kane delivered when it mattered most, scoring twice in the final 15 minutes—one with his head and one with his foot—to complete a dramatic 2-1 comeback and send England into the Round of 16.
Although England survived, the road only gets tougher from here.
Their next challenge is a true away match against one of the tournament's co-hosts. England now travels to the legendary Estadio Azteca to face Mexico in one of the most anticipated Round of 16 clashes.

One Final Farewell to the Azteca
From the quarter-finals onward, every remaining World Cup match will be played in the United States, making this Mexico's final opportunity to play on home soil.
El Tri has been outstanding so far. Victories over South Africa, South Korea and Czechia earned Javier Aguirre's side a perfect nine points without conceding a goal. They continued that impressive form by defeating Ecuador 2-0 in the Round of 32.
Still unbeaten and yet to concede, Mexico enters the Round of 16 full of confidence.
Based on current form, eliminating England would hardly qualify as an upset.
Mexico hopes to bid farewell to the newly renovated Estadio Azteca with another unforgettable victory before continuing its World Cup journey across the border.
